To summarize: George Packer has smuggled a work of far-reaching social criticism into the mainstream by means of a thick novelistic smokescreen that has fooled almost everyone into believing they’re in the presence of art. My critical reaction to this ruse: Nice going, George Packer. If that’s what it takes to make people listen, then more power to you. Good review of the vain effort about writing on the dehumanizing economics and politics of this country. The Unwinding shows that America is not in the process of disintegrating, its finished disintegrating, its unwound. Democracy is not just wounded in America, its dead. Thank the plutocrats.
